and do a little careful thinking. We
are all of the opinion that La Grande
will some day become a city of at
least 10,000. To accomplish this we
must provide employment for more
people. Now, what Is there that la
practical, that could be conducted In
La Grande, that would give steady
employment to six a dozen or a score
of employes. When you think you
have discovered some Industry that
would prove profitable to the opera

have your views. If we would all do
a little thinking and work In harmony
we would surprise ourselves with our
accomplishments between now and
next Christmas eve. Is It not worthy

republicans made this law, In case all
of the legislative candidates subscribed
to sattement No. 1, there would be no
occasion .whatever for the democrats
to put out any ticket whatever. While
It Is a well known fact that the demo

considered possible to elect a demo
cratic congressman In trrls state, then
why Is It any more probable to send
a democratic United States senator
for six years than It Is to send a dem

Brethren, we cannot withstand to sug
